About this Event

Want to know Amsterdam's hidden history? Want to impress your friends with fun facts whenever you're out for a walk? Or simply looking for an excuse to go on a Sunday adventure? This walking tour is for you.

On this walk through Amsterdam's inner city, we will discuss:

  • Amsterdam's early beginnings
  • The city's century-long struggle with water
  • Its rise to a global power
  • Its colonial legacy
  • the Red Light District - past and present
  • Coffeeshops
  • Rembrandt
  • WWII history


We will see the following highlights:

  • Central Station
  • The Hidden Church: Our Lord in the Attic
  • The He Hua Bhuddist Temple
  • The Medieval City Gate turned Anatomical Theatre
  • Rembrandt's House
  • The Dancing Houses of Amsterdam
  • The Royal Palace


We will walk for about 2-2.5 hours, depending on traffic and the weather, and at the end, you'll never look at the city centre the same. I promise.

As a bonus, I've got plenty of personal recommendations to share. Coffee, beer, or sandwich: I know just where to send you!

`Only downside: places are few. This walk happens only once a week, and the group size is limited to just 15. Make sure you book your tickets early!
